Falcon 24-C-EO 3 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What strikes do I need to order with the Falcon 24-C, and will it latch into my existing ones?
The 24-C latches at two points: a 3/4 inch throw at the top into a 4188 mortised strike, and a 1/2 inch throw at the bottom into a 2130 flush strike. Those are the strikes the device is set up to hit. An existing opening prepped for a different top strike almost certainly won't take the 3/4 inch top latch cleanly, so plan on the 4188 head prep and the 2130 at the threshold. The patented center slide lets you adjust rod length in the field to bring the latches into the strikes without pulling the device back off.
2) Can I use the Falcon 24-C on a pair of doors with no center mullion?
Yes, and that's the main reason to pick a concealed vertical rod device. It latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into a strike on a mullion, so a pair of narrow stile doors can be secured without a removable mullion in the middle of the opening. Two-point latching, 3/4 inch top and 1/2 inch bottom. If you'd rather keep a mullion and run a simpler rim device, that's the alternative tradeoff: a rim device needs the mullion but has no rods to route or adjust.
3) Should I order the Falcon 24-C less bottom rod?
Less bottom rod is one of the required choices on the 24-C, so you have to answer it either way. Take LBR when the threshold is dirty, wet, or takes cart traffic and a bottom latch would jam or get kicked out of adjustment, or when a floor strike prep isn't practical. You lose the 1/2 inch bottom latching point, so the device holds at the top only. Keep the bottom rod where you want the full two-point latch and the 2130 flush strike can be set in the floor.
4) Can the Falcon 24-C be tied into an access control system?
Yes, through the ordering options. RX gives you a request to exit switch that signals your panel when the pad is pushed. MEL is motorized electric latch retraction, which pulls the latches in so the door works as push-pull under access control and relatches when power drops or the schedule ends. EA adds an exit alarm at the device. Those are ordered on the device, not added later, so specify them up front. MEL needs a power supply and a transfer to get power into the door leaf.
5) My doors are wide stile hollow metal, not aluminum storefront. Is the Falcon 24-C still the right device?
No. The 24-C is a narrow stile device and belongs on aluminum storefront leaves. For wide stile hollow metal, look at the Adams Rite 8500 Series or the DORMA 9100 Series, both Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod devices, or the Corbin Russwin ED5800, Grade 1 wide stile for 1-3/4 inch doors. If the wide stile opening also has to be fire rated, the Adams Rite 3600 Series is a fire rated concealed vertical rod device for hollow metal doors.
6) I need a concealed vertical rod exit device for a wide stile door, not an aluminum storefront - what are my options?
The Falcon 24-C is a narrow stile device, so on a wide stile door you want a wide stile chassis instead. The Adams Rite 8500 Series is Grade 1 wide stile for hollow metal doors, non-fire-rated. The Corbin Russwin ED5800 is Grade 1 wide stile for 1-3/4 inch doors, exit only or accepts trim. The Dormakaba 9100 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile pushpad device covering 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors. For a wood door specifically, the BEST Precision 2701 Series is a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod device built for wood doors.
7) The Falcon 24-C comes less trim - what should I order if the door needs to be opened from the outside with a key or lever?
The 24-C is an exit only device supplied less trim, meaning the push pad releases the latches from the inside and there is no outside operating trim. If the opening needs outside operation, the Corbin Russwin ED4800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors that is built exit only or to accept trim. The Corbin Russwin ED7800 is a narrow stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts operator trim, though it uses a crossbar actuator rather than a push pad. For a classroom function with outside key control on a wide stile fire rated opening, the Sargent 12-MD8613 is Grade 1 classroom function.
8) The Falcon 24-C is not fire rated - what concealed vertical rod device should I use on a fire rated opening?
For a labeled opening you need a device carrying a fire rating, and there are several concealed vertical rod options. The Adams Rite 3900 Series is fire rated with a 1-1/2 hour rating, Grade 1, wide stile. The Adams Rite 3600 Series is fire rated Grade 1 wide stile for hollow metal doors. The Sargent 12-MD8613 is fire rated Grade 1 wide stile in classroom function, so it gives you outside key control as well as egress. All three are wide stile devices, so confirm your door stile will take them - the 24-C's narrow stile geometry does not carry over.
9) My aluminum storefront doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inch - is there a concealed vertical rod device that will still work?
The Falcon 24-C is built for 1-3/4 inch doors. If your openings run thicker, the Dormakaba 9600BB is a narrow stile Grade 1 heavy duty concealed vertical rod pushpad device covering a 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, in 36 inch, non-fire-rated. On wide stile doors, the Dormakaba 9100 Series covers the same 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch range at Grade 1 heavy duty. Measure the actual door thickness before ordering, since the 1-3/4 inch devices will not prep correctly on a thicker leaf.
10) What is the closest equivalent to a Falcon 24-C concealed vertical rod exit device from another manufacturer?
The Falcon 24-C is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, supplied exit only with no trim. The Von Duprin 3347A-3ft matches it closely: Grade 1, narrow stile, 1-3/4 inch door thickness, non-fire-rated, and built at 36 inches. The Corbin Russwin ED4800 is also Grade 1 narrow stile for 1-3/4 inch doors, but it is built to accept trim as well as exit only, so if you want a pure exit-only push-pad device with no outside operation, the 3347A is the nearer match. Dormakaba's 9600BB is another narrow stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device at 36 inches, non-fire-rated, and it covers a 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range if the doors on the job vary.
11) Does the Falcon 24-C exit device come handed, or do I have to specify left or right?
Non-handed. You don't specify a hand when ordering the 24-C, and one device covers both leaves of a pair. That's useful if you're stocking spares for a building with doors swinging both ways, since the same 36 inch device works on either.
12) What dogging options are available on the Falcon 24-C exit device?
Three choices, and one is required on every order: hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Hex dogging holds the push pad down with an allen wrench so the door stays push-pull during business hours, and it's the low cost default. Cylinder dogging does the same thing but takes a key, so only staff with the key can dog the door down, which is what most schools and healthcare facilities want. Less dogging means the device always latches. Note that dogging is not permitted on fire rated openings.
13) How far does the Falcon 24-C stick out from the face of the door?
Projection is 2-3/4 inches off the door face. That's the number to check against a tight vestibule, a return wall, or a second door swinging into the same space, and against the egress width you have to maintain when the door is open. On a pair, remember you get that projection on both leaves.
14) What is the difference between the Falcon 24-C and the Von Duprin 3347A for a narrow stile aluminum door?
Both are Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod devices for 1-3/4 inch doors, so either works on the same opening. The Von Duprin 3347A-3ft is the 36 inch grooved case version and is non fire rated; the 3347A-EO is the exit only, less bottom rod configuration. The Falcon 24-C is exit only less trim with the less bottom rod choice made at order time rather than as a separate model. If you want a crossbar instead of a push pad, the Von Duprin 5547-3ft and 7547-3ft are narrow stile Grade 1 crossbar concealed rod devices at 36 inches.
15) Will the Falcon 24-C hold up in a high traffic entrance like a school or hospital?
Grade 1 to ANSI A156.3-2001 is the heavy duty commercial level, which is what you want on a main entrance. The pushing surface is stainless steel so it resists scratching, the end caps are flush so there's less to catch or break off, and there are no exposed screws or rivets on the back of the device. All mounting screws are concealed, which also means nothing obvious for someone to attack with a screwdriver.
16) What prep does the door need before installing a Falcon 24-C concealed vertical rod device?
The leaf has to be routed for concealed rods running top and bottom inside the stile, and it must be a 1-3/4 inch narrow stile door. The frame head takes the 4188 mortised strike, so that's a mortise prep, not a surface strike, and the threshold takes the 2130 flush strike. Mounting holes are drilled from the manufacturer templates and all the fasteners land concealed. Final rod length is set on the door using the center slide, so you're not cutting rods to a guess before the device is up.
17) What is the difference between a push pad concealed vertical rod device like the Falcon 24-C and a crossbar version?
The 24-C uses a stainless steel push pad across the device face. A crossbar device uses a horizontal bar that you push instead. The Von Duprin 5547-3ft is a narrow stile Grade 1 crossbar concealed vertical rod device at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, non-fire-rated, and the Corbin Russwin ED7800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both latch the same two points; the choice is actuator style and matching what is already on the adjacent doors of the building.
18) I want to order the Falcon 24-C less bottom rod - is there a device that comes that way from another maker?
Less bottom rod removes the bottom latch and strike so the device latches at the top only, which keeps the threshold clear on doors that see carts, water, or debris. The Von Duprin 3347A-EO is built as an exit only less bottom rod narrow stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, so it is the direct counterpart if you are speccing that configuration under another brand. The 24-C's bottom latch throw is 1/2 inch against a 2130 flush strike, which is the latch point being deleted.
19) I have a mix of narrow, medium and wide stile doors in one building - can I standardize on one concealed vertical rod device?
The Falcon 24-C is a narrow stile device, so it will not cover the wide stile openings. If you want a single part number across a mixed stile fleet, the CRL Jackson 1285 push pad concealed vertical rod panic exit device is listed for narrow, medium or wide stile, which is the one device in the concealed vertical rod group that spans all three. For a wide stile only run, the CRL Jackson 1085 Series is a non-handed exit only concealed vertical rod panic device built at 48 inches. Confirm the stile dimension on each opening before you standardize.
20) Which concealed vertical rod exit devices are non-handed like the Falcon 24-C so I do not have to specify hand?
The 24-C is non-handed, so one part number covers left and right hand openings. Among the other concealed vertical rod devices, the BEST Precision 2601 Series is an exit only narrow stile non-handed device, and the CRL Jackson 1085 Series is a non-handed 48 inch exit only concealed vertical rod panic device. The BEST Precision 2701 Series is described as reversible for wood doors, meaning it is field-set to hand rather than shipped hand-specific.
21) The Falcon 24-C is ANSI A156.3 Grade 1 - which comparable concealed vertical rod devices carry the same grade for a spec that calls for it?
The 24-C is certified to ANSI A156.3-2001 at Grade 1. If the drawing calls for Grade 1 concealed vertical rod and you need alternates, Grade 1 is stated for the Adams Rite 3600 and 3900 (both fire rated), the Adams Rite 8500 and 8600, the Corbin Russwin ED4800, ED5800 and ED7800, the Dormakaba 9100 and 9600BB, the Sargent 12-MD8613 and MD8613F-LTRIM, and the Von Duprin 3347A-3ft, 3347A-EO, 5547-3ft and 7547-3ft. Narrow the list by stile type and fire rating for your opening.
22) Is the Adams Rite 8600 a substitute for the Falcon 24-C on aluminum storefront doors?
They are close in the ways that decide the opening: the Adams Rite 8600 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit device for aluminum doors and is non-fire-rated, which lines up with the 24-C's Grade 1 narrow stile construction for storefront. The differences to check before you swap are device length and options - the 24-C is a 36 inch device with 3/4 inch top and 1/2 inch bottom latch throw against 4188 mortised top and 2130 flush bottom strikes, and it is ordered exit only less trim with dogging, request to exit and latch retraction chosen at order. Confirm the same option set on the 8600 side before treating it as a one-for-one.
23) What looks like a substitute for the Falcon 24-C but will not work on a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
Several concealed vertical rod devices share the two-point latching principle but are wide stile chassis and will not fit a narrow stile leaf: the Adams Rite 3600, 3900 and 8500, the Corbin Russwin ED5800, the Dormakaba 9100, the Sargent 12-MD8613, the CRL Jackson 1085, and the BEST Precision 2701 and 2801. The Von Duprin 7547-3ft is narrow stile Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors but is listed as not wood door compatible, so it holds for aluminum and not for a wood leaf. Match stile type first, then grade and fire rating.
24) I need hex dogging on a concealed vertical rod device - what else is offered that way?
The Falcon 24-C is ordered with a dogging choice of hex dogging, cylinder dogging or less dogging, so hex is available at order. If you are cross-shopping, the Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is a Grade 1 heavy duty concealed vertical rod device for metal doors at 36 by 84 inches specified with hex dogging. Hex dogging holds the push pad down for free swing during business hours; cylinder dogging does the same with a key instead of a hex wrench.
25) What finishes does the Falcon 24-C come in, and can I match the other doors in my building?
Twelve finishes on the 24-C: 313AN dark bronze anodized, 643E aged bronze, 612 satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 628 aluminum anodized, 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 629 bright stainless, and 630 satin stainless. For a building already running dark bronze anodized storefront, 313AN is the match; 628 aluminum anodized matches clear anodized aluminum entrances. 626 satin chrome is the usual choice where the rest of the hardware is 626.
